im sorry i dont wanna be a hater or any thing but i really think drake is garbage he shud stik to his choruses cus if you really pay attantion to him all his metaphors and simalies are jus juiced up runn offs from lil wayne the ancestor of this sso called beast nnamed drake my bro luvs him (no homo) but i dont like him ill give him some songs though

As Far as Album of the year is kinda of a toss up to me:
Kid Cudi Man on the Moon was fire!!!! even tho it was more alternative rap than hip hop
Jay-Z BP3
Wale Attention Deficit
Asher Roth Asleep in the bread Aisle
Clispe till the casket drop is Heavy also
Ghostface Ghostdini
too many to name this year, Real Hip Hop coming BACK!

I agree wit dude below me. Drake is OK so far gone was too commerical and Drake's word play is not all that lets be real, and im not hatin just a fan of real music. There were so many other hot mixtapes that were WAYYYYY better than so far gone such as:
J.Cole Warm Up, Wale and 9th Wonder Back to the Feature, Big Sean UKNOWBIGSEAN, and Lupe had the best mixtape this YEAR!!! Enemy of the State is a Classic and that shit just dropped! Drake just gettin more buzz thats it Lyrically he aint fuckin wit Lupe, Wale, or J.Cole

I have a hard time callin' this the mixtape of the year, because it was rerelease as an album. Either way...Wale and 9th Wonder Back to the Feature, J Cole The Warm Up, and despite lasting only slightly longer than 22 minutes Lup's Enemy of the State
Wale's Attention Deficit is my pick for best album. I mean, I enjoy Drake, but only for clever wit and one liners. When he starts kick knowledge about something more than fame, fortune and the misfortune of fame, which anyone would deal with, then i might consider album and/or mixtape of the year. If Lup can dumb it down on the Say Anything freestyle, Drake might want to consider smartin' it up.

I don't agree. He's a nice rapper but does not deserve mixtape of the year. He got ladies to like him with that radio hit, and what do guys do? Like shit that girls like or find someway to make it cool to them cuz in the long wrong it might get them pussy! haha. Cuz that song helped me get some.
"You the 'best' i ever had"
But artistically he stuff isn't original.

i really feel like hes really good, but there is better, i call drake lil west, which is not a good thing, u want to hear a real good mix tape, check out this kid...fire might be the new shady

listen to this and say its not tight.

I dont know if I agree, but I understand why.. This mixtape is the only reason why I even thought he was good. It was different and really started that new singer/rapper style. Plus all the girls like him so like I said, dont agree, but I see how
